Opening night is finally here. The Pistons host the Celtics in the first game, the Knicks raise their banner before facing the 76ers, and the Thunder visit the Spurs in the late game, with Wednesday’s full slate right behind it. The official feeds spent the last few hours getting ready: Stephen Curry was courtside at the WNBA Finals, the Lakers showed Luka Doncic working with Walker Kessler, and the league packed the sound of every training camp into two minutes. Here are nine clips worth watching before tip-off, each with a quick note on why it matters.
Stephen Curry takes a seat courtside in Ballhalla
Curry spent Monday night in San Francisco cheering on the Valkyries in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, a game Atlanta won to even the series 1-1. It was one last night off: earlier that day he went through a full practice after Sunday’s ankle scare, and he is set to play in Golden State’s opener against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Luka Doncic and Walker Kessler put in the work
The Lakers gave a minute-long look inside a workout with Doncic and Kessler, the center they added this summer to protect the rim behind their star. Kessler was handled carefully in the preseason, so how quickly the two find a rhythm together is one of the first things to watch when Los Angeles hosts Golden State on Wednesday.

The sounds of all 30 training camps
The league’s two-minute camp mix strings together coaches and players from every team, from drill instructions to the first trash talk of the year. It opens on a line that fits almost every roster this week: “We’ve got a lot of work to do.” Tonight we find out who did enough of it. Video: @NBA on X.
David Robinson on the Spurs’ Finals run and young core
The Hall of Famer looked back on San Antonio’s trip to the Finals and talked about a young group built around Victor Wembanyama. The timing is good: the Spurs host the Thunder in the late game on opening night, a rematch of last season’s Western Conference finals. Video: @NBATV on X.
Eddie House on Jayson Tatum’s leadership
The former Celtics guard and assistant coach called Tatum “such a great leader” and praised his poise. Boston opens the season in Detroit in the first game of the day, the first regular-season look at Tatum next to Paul George, and his voice in the locker room will matter as much as his scoring. Video: @NBATV on X.
Detroit is ready for Boston
A 30-second hype spot from the Pistons with a simple message: “Keep calm, Detroit Basketball is here.” Detroit finished as the East’s top seed last season, and it gets the first tip of the new season at home against the Celtics. Video: @DetroitPistons on X.
The Thunder’s Chapter 19
Oklahoma City’s season-opening short film, featuring Royce Young, frames year 19 in OKC around one line: “Above all, we build together.” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder start the new chapter in San Antonio tonight. Video: @okcthunder on X.
Nique Clifford’s tattoo tour
The Kings sat down with Clifford, now in No. 10, to walk through the story behind his ink. It is a relaxed look at the second-year wing before Sacramento’s season begins, and an easy way for fans to get to know him better. Video: @SacramentoKings on X.
Brandon Miller makes it official
Charlotte posted the signing moment for Miller’s five-year, $209 million rookie extension. The deal, done just before Monday’s deadline, makes Miller a long-term piece of the Hornets’ core next to LaMelo Ball. Video: @hornets on X.
